The Serrano Mira family has been connected to the wine production for countless generations now. In their estates several clay amphoras were preserved, dated to 1667, which served as containers for the production of wine.
The brothers Mira (Carlos and Luis) started following very early the family activities in the wine sector, and at one point they decided to make their dream come true, with the creation of the Herdade das Servas (Estremoz) in 1999. Today with about 220 hectares of vineyards, aging between 20 and 60 years old, the estate offers a modern and attractive unit of eno-tourism highlighting the new recently opened restaurant.

The latest released wine, with the winemaker Tiago Garcia’s signature, is the Herdade das Servas Alicante Bouschet 2011. This wine spent 14 months in new oak barrels and 14 months in bottle until release.
A rich and full-bodied wine, marked by the excellence of ripe fruit, opulent and full of energy, balsamic note, dark chocolate and spices, touch of oak, bold, compensated by a good freshness. Plenty of life ahead, in mouth is still very new, lots of juicy fruit, firm and very tasty, great structure asking for some time to refine the elegance that already shows. Long and persistent finish in this beautiful Alicante Bouschet’s exemplar.
